Would you also like to get the decoration from the Collectors Edition vendor? How about the ones from the Security Key vendor? Maybe you also want free black-yellow crystals even though they're preorder rewards. The decorations that require Cartel Certs are also on the GTN. People are turning them from CM only to CM/Credits simply by buying them and reselling them. You can also earn Cartel Market Certs from the Slot Machines. Most decent guilds have a couple on their guild ships, and the tokens require credits to buy. If you get lucky, you get a cert. Old packs also come back to the market every now and then, certificates included. It's not like there is no way to obtain the decorations, it's just that there's no way you LIKE to obtain the decorations.

Valor rank 5 is like 5 warzones. That won't happen on a PvP server?

You mean you don't like the uber awesome ranked rewards?

We barely have any action in 4v4 group arenas and we want to double the requirements for ranked by bringing back 8v8? One ranked match a week, here I come!

Who the heck uses IO in PvP?

Isn't PvP already a dumpster?

If you do not have PvP gear, replace the piece you are missing with 190 gear. The Bolster system will bring that up to something close to PvP grade. Not the best, but better. If you go over 190, you'll gain more stats, but you will lose expertise, which is more important. If you've only started PvPing at lvl 65, you will find it hard to get used to it. There are 2 things you can do right now to make it easier on yourself. 1. Make a lowbie to farm coms. You can buy legacy bound tokens you can use to transfer WZ coms to your main. 2. Play one of every class until you have a general understanding of each class. It will help you to know not to waste your force/tech attacks on a shadow that's glowing white or not using melee/ranged attacks(white damage) on a smuggler's dodge. There are many situational abilities that will make or break a fight. You knowing all these abilities will make you a better PvPer beyond doubt.

Valor 20 takes like 10 warzones. What are you on about?

I don't see the need of a swtor 2. If EAware said "hey we're taking everything you've done in this game away and we're making a new game, move on" after only 5 years of this game, so they can release a new one, I can say I'd be unhappy. I'd probably still buy/sub/play the new one, I just won't be happy about it. If you take all the expansions that this game has had so far, you could probably get the same amount of gametime from them as you get from the vanilla content. The idea shouldn't be to make a whole new game, because this is an MMO. It should be expanded upon instead.

Paypal is international and can be done via bank account if you do not have a credit/debit card. If you do not have a bank account either, then I do not think you should be spending money on online games.

Next you're gonna ask why not sell CM packs for Data Crystals.

When you say "one or two servers" I hope you mean regions. A lot of people will not accept playing on anything over 100ms, so what you hope will bring the servers to life will actually drive players away because they can no longer play at their peak. There's no need to have a graphic revamp. SWTOR is still one of the best looking MMOs out there. Just because it's not next gen omg 1440p ultrahd 100fps doesn't mean it needs a revamp. Engine changes are also extensive, and it takes months, if not years for an engine to be redesigned, especially with how many new systems there are now compared to launch. What will those 500 players do on Nar Shaddaa? Group content is at an alltime low. All the heroics can be done solo, levelling flashpoints have been made redundant, and HM FPs have no real incentive for those looking at end game. Operations are also dying out as we haven't seen a new operation in something like 2 years.

There's no elder game in SWTOR. Just make a new lowbie.

So you want a vanity item that looks really really good, but don't wanna pay much for it. Why does that not add up somehow?

1. I'm afraid of joining pugs because I'm afraid of failing even though I used to be a NiM raider. Truth is I just can't remember a few of the fights that well, so I'm worried I'll die and embarrass myself. 2. I believe I'm quite mediocre at PvP even though I spend most my time queuing solo on whatever class I feel like playing at the time. It's also the reason I avoid ranked like the plague. 3. I take pride in having 60% of armours unlocked in collections, even though I only use about 10 sets. 4. I've spent thousands of dollars on cartel packs over the years, and I always think "maybe this time I'll get that piece" just before I buy more coins for another crate. 5. I've had over 30 65s since 4.0 launched, but I keep deleting them when they reach max level so I can level a new one(I do have a set of 16 toons, one of each class, which I will never delete) through flashpoints/heroics/pvp. 6. I stayed up till 3 AM to ensure that I get the name "Emma Hawke" before anyone else when they release spaces in names. That character is still level 61 and I haven't used it in months. 7. I used to main Concealment Operative back when I played on APAC server. I was good with it. Over the years I played a lot of other classes and lost my touch with concealment and lose the majority of Op vs Op duels I enter. My friends still remember how good I was with Concealment nearly 3 years ago, so I just say I don't play concealment cause of lag, even though I just suck at it now. 8. My main 16 characters are an even split of male and female. The only reason they are even is cause I didn't want people to think I'm a pervert for playing female characters. I'd be perfectly fine with having all female characters. 9. I got my Kurtob Alliance speeder by buying and subscribing and extra copy of SWTOR, because nobody I knew wanted to play the bloody game.

Vibroblade lives matter!

The 2 ops at the end of Oricon are super easy in story mode, as well as fun. I suggest looking up a quick guide on dulfy so you get the general idea(you don't have to memorise it, just see the key points), and then jump head first as a DPS(easier role to fill). You'll have fun, trust me.

That is true as well I guess. Level sync tried, but when you're level 60 killing lvl 40 mobs, there's just no contest, even with sync.

It's the datacrons + the presence boost from legacy that's making everything so easy.

No new operations for launch of 5.0. Let's not get hasty and say that 5.0 will be another dry season. Right EAware? Right? RIGHT?

Pretty sure Jawa Junk is BoP. Join a conquest guild like BBB, complete your target, and I'm pretty sure part of the reward is Jawa Junk.

Look at the current games played on a competitive esports level and compare them with SWTOR. This game is just too "complex" to be an esports contender. Need something simple, with pace, that keeps both players and viewers on the edge of their seat.

This issue has been raised a hundred times before. You shouldn't really expect any result at this point in time tbh.

Not the new norm. Ninja Looting has been around since forever and hasn't been "illegal" in no way since this game launched. Everybody plays the game for themselves, so expect this sort of thing to happen I guess.
